Bacterial diversity in suspected prosthetic joint infections: an exploratory study using 16S rRNA gene analysis

25 Feb 2012

Abstract excerpt

Formation of biofilm is a prominent feature of prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) and constitutes a challenge to current sampling procedures and culture practices. Molecular techniques have a potential for improving diagnosis of biofilm-adapted, slow-growing and non-culturable bacteria. In this exploratory study we investigated the bacterial diversity in specimens from 22 patients clinically suspected of having...
